Luke Nichol, NCPS

Luke Nichol is an accredited counsellor who brings a calm, thoughtful approach to therapeutic work. He holds the NCPS credential, a qualification that indicates professional training and registration in counselling, and has five years of clinical experience supporting people through complex emotional challenges. Clients frequently say they appreciate having a space to offload, slow down, make sense of their feelings, and break things into manageable steps. Luke offers that kind of space - one that moves at the client’s pace and adapts to what feels most useful for them.

His practice is flexible and integrative, able to be warm and reflective, gently challenging and goal focused, or creative and exploratory depending on the needs presented. He draws on a range of evidence-based techniques and relational work, including coaching, Compassionate Inquiry, person-centred methods, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and other relational approaches to help clients build self-awareness, identify patterns, and develop coping strategies.

Luke is also open about his lived experience as a gay, neurodivergent person with ADHD and dyslexia, and he brings that perspective to his practice. In an initial meeting he takes time to learn about a person’s life, interests, work, and what they hope to get from therapy, creating a no-pressure space where clients can be themselves and explore realistic ways to move forward.
